I just finished setting up a hospital tank for them but it may be too late. This afternoon I checked on them and they were covered. Hopefully the medication will work but I'm not overly optimistic. So far my lawnmower blenny and zebra darts show no signs but I'll have to get them out and into treatment ASAP. I'm pretty sure the Kole must have brought the disease with him into my tank. From now on everything that goes in will be quarantined first. Is it true that after all the fish are removed the virus will die because there are no hosts? How long does this take? Any other advice would be much appreciated.

I would leave the display fishless for 8 weeks....6 weeks minimum. Marine velvet is nasty, good luck with it.
